Before you post
A clear job description is useful even before anyone responds: it records the site, your priorities and the questions you need a quote to answer.

A clearer request gets clearer answers
Describe access before asking for a price
Stairs, narrow access, limited parking and exposed work areas can meaningfully change a site visit or materials plan. Include those details in the job description from the start.
For exterior work, include safe ground-level photos of all relevant elevations and identify the outcome you need: repair, protection, replacement or a wider upgrade.
